Land Matters.

WASHINGTON, May l.-Acting Sec
retary Muldrow has affirmed the de-
cision of Commissioner Sparks, of the
general land office, rejecting the appli-
cation of the state OF California to
select, as indemnity, school lands in
lieu of minimum. This decision fol-
lows that of the department in the
recent case of the state of California
VS.. Smith.
Acting Secretary Muldrow has di-
rected the commissioner of the general
land office to demand from the Cali
fornia & Oregon railroad company the
reconveyance to the United States OF

ing from special reports and afiidavits

eral land.

AnnliCntion Granted.

New York, May 2.-Judge Donohue
has granted Oppenheim & Co. n man
damus to compel the st. Louis Il San
Francisco railroad officials to open its
stock transfer books for inspection.
The Judge decides that the court has
jurisdiction over the matter. The
point made by the defendants asserting
that the Missouri law requires the
books to be kept in st. Louis, the
headquarters of the company, is de-
clared to be without application to the
case. 1t was shown that the original
books in question were in New York
The application was granted as right
of stockholders secured by law.

PORTLAND, Oregon, May "A
Baker City Oregonian special says that
Andy Newman, deputy sheriff, who re.
turned from six weeks unsuccessful
search for two horse thieves accidently
discovered the rendezvous for band OF
horse and cattle thieves who Tor years
past have committed depredations on
the ranges of southeastern Oregon,
particularly in Malheur county. The
robbers camp is situated IN Idaho,
about 200 miles east of Baker City at
the confluence of the Grand Rounde
river with the Snake. Here, to his
great surprise, Newman found
himself in the midst OF refugees
from the law, numbering
upwards of twenty-five or thirty men,
we'll armed and equipped and ready to
set all law at defiance. The place
selected for refuge by this band OF
outlaws is well adapted for their call
ing. Little valleys, here and there,
are nestled in between high, precipi'
tous and rugged cliffs and mountains,
some of them afiording an abundance
of bunch grass for stock. Their out
let is across the Snake river into Idaho,
and by this passage hundreds OF cattle
and horses are run of from the upper
counties and disposed of to unsuspect-
ing parties in the states and territories.
With the addition OF guards at the
entrance the rendezvous of this band
of robbers answers we'll the description
of the valley which sheltered the
Doones, in the famous novel Of Lorna
Doone."

The DrOuth In Texas.

CHICAGO, May 1.-The Galveston
News, commenting upon the drouth,
says: "The drouth of last year and
that of the present season are un-
paralleled. In the extreme northwest OF
Texas and the extreme southwest
there has been rains of late that will
prove of incalculable benefit to the
cattle districts, but the agricultural
districts, pure and simple, except per-
haps II limited tract in northern
Texas, are suffering seriously from
want OF rain. In all that belt OF coun-
try between San Antonio and Austin,
from Austin to Waco, from Waco to
Bremonte, and down the Central rail-
road to Houston, and in circumference
described by this geographical circle
the country stands badly in need OF
moisture. Oats and small grains
within the district specified is almost
u total failure, while corn that should
be well advanced and in vigorous con-
dition is seriously wilted and in bad
condition at the roots. This is the
worst feature of the agricultural situ-
alton in central, middle and southern
Texas. There is still time ahead to
make cotton crop, although at the
best it is now bound to be late. Unless
rains come within six or eight days
the corn crop in Texas will be fail
urc. So serious is the outlook that
wholesale houses are withdrawing
their men from the road, pending the
solution of the rainfall problem"

Plucky Nihilists.

ST.. PETERSBURG, May 2.-One OF
the persons just convicted of plotting
against the czar is student named
Oualianoff, son of n high Russian Off
cial. During the trial he displayed
the highest intelligence, and main
tanned a most dignified bearing, enter
ing into O minute scientific dispute
with Feodorof, the renowned chemist.
He compelled the latter to acknowl-
edge the prisoner in the right and he
himself in the wrong. At the final
setting, Oualiandof made a brilliant
speech, declaring neither he nor his
companions feared death. He could
imagine nothing more sublime than to
die in the endeavor to deliver the un-
fortunate Russian people. Hundreds
of young men would initiate him, un-
til the czar would be compelled to
change his despotic system. The
prisoners, with one exception, are
Intelligent, gentlemanly and OF good
families. One said he intended to
murder the czar with II revolver, but
afterwards thought bombs to be better.

Bank Tax Case.

WASHINGTON, May "A de-
cision was rendered by the su-
preme court OF the United States to-
day in the bank tax case OF Hattie f..
Stanley, executrix, plaintiff in error,
against the board of supervisors OF Al
bany, N. Y. The original plaintiff in
this case, Edward II. Stanley, was a
citizen OF Illinois, and claims to be
the assignee of certain shareholders OF
the Albany National Exchange. bank.
He brought suit to recover back GER
tain taxes alleged to have been ille-
gally collected from them upon their
shares in that bank during the years
from 1914 to 1879, inclusive, and paid
into the treasury of the county OF AL
bany. He complained that the as
SCISSORS, by rule prescribed by them
selves, assessed shares of the Albany
National Exchange bank at a higher
rate than stock in other banks situated
in the same county. The court holds
that the method of assessment COM
planned OF is applied to all banks, ma
tional and state, and comes as near as
practicable, considering the nature of
the property, to securing as between
them uniformity and equality OF taxa
/ ton. 1t cannot be considered as dis
eliminating againat either. Over val.
uation of property is not ground oi
action at law for excess beyond what
should have been levied upon O just
valuation. Courts cannot, in such
cases, take upon themselves the func'
tions of u revising or equalizing board
Judgment of the court below is ap
